After tonight, I'm thinking five (5) defensive ends and five (5) defensive tackles...
Martez Wilson, should he mature could ...

So 5 DTs: Rogers, Ellis, Franklin, Johnson, King and Miller - that's 6 DTs, so one will be cut out of Johnson, King and Miller. Or maybe try to get King into the PS, but there's a danger of some other team snatching him up. I still don't see Johnson being cut because of the monetary investment in him and with what he showed before he got injured... clearly the best out of those 3!

Johnson is taller than Ellis and King is about as tall, while Ellis is beefier than both of them, but that can fixed without genetic manipulation.
